School teachers, especially those who guide the thought of the very young future presidents, have interesting in cidents brought to their notice at vari ous times. They are not always appre ciate of expectation. The kidlet has a great liking of3 appearing big in the eyes of his fellow-students, and to that end he brings his various possessions, one at a time, along with him to school. One Monday morning he came to school in just time enough to avoid! having his name on the tardy list} and he took a literary turn of mind, and showed up with one-of the magazines. The next morning he was held up by the principal and relieved of a coffee grinder. At the next session he ran the block ade successfully, bringing into school a hockey stick, with which he proceeded to show the teacher how the discipline of the school should-be kept up to its required standard. The next morning the teacher very naturally suspected him of having something about him that would be liable to distract his attention from the lessons. She called him aside, and he gave her three smelts and a clam. At the close of school he marched up to the desk and asked for his property. The next day he was as good as a clam, knew his lessons correctly, and the teacher began to regain confidence in him. But that was where he fooled her, for the next afternoon he came walking into the room as big as life with a policeman's badge pinned to his coat. Friday ended the week, and teacher and pupil longed for a change in program. They both got it. Adolphus—that his name—didn't bring anything to school that day excepting himself. But when he removed his cap his hair re sembled that of a poodle dog. The teacher asked him if he couldn't go heme and have it brushed, whereupon he exclaimed that the last time it was so treated he caught cold, and that his mother didn't feel like purchasing a new supply of cough medicine just at present.—Brockton Enterprise. COATS OF ARMS. Things Heraldic are at Present in a Kind of Chaos. Every one who adopts arms not his own by inheritance from some one to whom they were granted by the crown, or not his own by patent granted to himself, creates himself 'noble" by his own will or fantasy. If people un derstood this perhaps they would not set up crests and arms, either here or in the United States, where there is no crown, no college of arms, and, of course^ no noblesse. Noblesse is now a mere survival in Europe, however, it does survive: in the states it does not, though many American families of English or other European descent have a hereditary right to bear arms. In the same way an American citizen represents the title of Fairfax, but, of course, he does not bear it. The re public, like England since the last "visitation of arms," under the res toration, takes the affairs of heraldry very easily, and Americans can use armorial bearings without offending the law. The royal arms of Bruce have actually been seen on American note paper, though it is hard to know how any one can have a right to them certainly it cannot be through male legitimate descent from the hero of Bannockburn. In short, things heraldic, as commonly treated, are in a kind of chaos, and many coats are as arbitrarily decorative as mono grams. A man who has. no arms and wants to get theni ought to put himself in the hands of the College of Heralds, who, we presume, will do what is legi timate, for a consideation. The case of Shakespeare and his claims to arms may be studied in any biography of the poet. He wished to wite himself "Armiger* and succeeded. Burns, too, looked into the affair of his own name and arms, without success. Probably his real reason was that so natural to a Scot—to know something of the history of his family. There is no harm in this natural piety rather good. A man would be inspired to be worthy of his ancestors, through the proverb, "Noblesse oblige," has so rpany notable exceptions. Andrew Lang in London News. An Absent-Mlnded Man. Sir William MtcCormac, the presi dent of the Royjil College of Surgeons of London, is at times absent-minded. He is an indefatigable worker, and often to save time when studying in his laboratory has a light luncheon served there One -of 1 his assistants heard him sigh heavily and, looking up, saw/ the doctor glaring at two glass receptacles on his table. "What is the troubie, doctor?" asked one of the youngsters. "Nothing in particu lar," was the reply, "only I am uncer tain whether I drank the beef tea or that compound I am working on." Capt. John Codman, who died recent ly 'at the age of 86, was a prominent member of the New York Reform and the Twilight clubs, and was one of the best known writers upon industrial subjects in the country. He retained his strength and vigor to a remarkable degree, and when he was 76 years old was accustomed to ride on horseback between New York and Boston solely for the exercise. Innumerable stories are told of his vigor, says the Saturday Evening Post. Two or three years ago he was seen walking briskly down town in New York one of the biterest days of the winter. The thermometer was down to zero and the wind was blowing a gale. Pretty cold, isn't it?" remarked a friend who met him. "Do you think so?" "Think so! I know it. What im portant business takes you outdoors in this storm?" "Nothing especially important," re plied the old man as he strode on "I've been skating on the lake up at the park." Mary, the late Ditches of Teck, had many charms which rendered her dear to all sorts of men and women, but none so great, says in Harper's Bazar an American bishop's wife who met her many times, as the delightful way in which she used to repeat a story. Above all she loved to tell any tale that brought a hearty langh on the nobility of which she was such a dem ocratic a inemebr. One of her stories, pointed at nobody dared say whom, was of a duchess who owed everybody, including her seamstress and that seamstress' little daughter. Polite duns by pogt and messeiiger had no effect in bringing about a liquidation fa ac counts, so that Anally, in'despair, the sewing, woman concluded to send her sweet little girl with a verbal request for the money which Was owing. She polished the little face "until it was like a June rose, and took her to the gates of the ducal mansion, all the way impressing on her what she Was to say. "And above all, don't forget to say 'Your grace'!" The child promised and trotted off. By some decree of fate she got quickly by the servants and was shown into the duchess' sitting room. She looked composedly at the great dame. "Are you the duchess, ma'am?" she said. "Yes, my child." And at that, word the little one put her two hands to gether and reverently closed her eyes. "For what we areabout to receive," she said, "Oh, Lord, make us truly thankful!" "Even a pauper duchess couldn't stand that way of saying 'Your grace,'" the' duchess of Teck would conclude with a jolly hit at her own well known financial difficulties, "and the child got the money." Buried. "My dear," said Mr. Boggsley, as he put his arms around his wife and held her in a fond embrace, "why are you weeping?" "I am crushed," she replied. "I had hoped that we were beginning to be recognied as leaders in society. But today at our club the ladies insisted in voting me in as vice-president, and now we shall, of course, drop out of sight!" —Chicago Times-Herald. TIME TRIED, Evsr and Always Goad.

A besieged correspondent from Lady smith gives rather an amusing account of his native servant under fire. "Some of us," he says, "were sitting outside the bomb-proof quarters, my natives being just outside theirs. Suddenly we heard the distant boom of a low-velo city five-pounder gun. There was a moment's pause, and then we heard the shriek of a shell approaching us. There was a shout of 'look out,' and every one was below ground, except Jem, who remained watching curiously to see where the shell would burst "and what it would do. He saw the shell burst above him it was shrapnel, and he learned something of what it could do, because a small, and, luckily, al most spent, piece laid his head open to the bone. This appeared to please him immensely, and by the time we ap peared above ground again he was smiling a rather sickly smile, mopping up the blood, which was flowing pret ty freely from his head, with a dirty dishcloth. I gave him a tot of brandy, and Hospital Sergeant-Major Dowling bound up his head for him. Another native, named Charlie, remarked that Jem had all the luck, for he would gladly have suffered a blow on the head for-the same compensation—a tot of brandy. I cannot persuade them to make their bomb-proofs secure. They remark that, 'what is to be, will be.' —London Household Words. Subscribe for the Labor World $1.00 a year in advance.
